The Illuminati/Elite aren't doing this. This is a rebellion by crypto-anarchists. We will destroy this system of International Jewry and liberate humanity without having to fire a shot or participating in any rigged election.

I am looking at bitcoin/litecoin as a risky investment. Sort of like penny stocks in a way but I feel less risky and more upside potential. Not a replacement for gold/silver or even cash. But it is a another way to diversify without holding government/banker paper and it has advantages that PM's do not.

Same here, I looked into Bitcoin back in 2010 and thought to myself. No way that will never take off. Been kicking myself in the ass since Nov of last year....

Same here, except I did get in before the first run-up to $30 in Spring/Summer 2011.

If I had spent about one more hour going over it in 2010, when I had first heard about it, I would have many, many, many more ounces of gold to show for it today. So I am kicking myself a bit too, but not nearly as much as someone completely on the sidelines.

Tradehill stole mine. I'm pretty sure I bought them under $10.00

Send an email to claim@tradehill.com

They should pay you back without too much of a problem.

Let me know how it goes.

My bad. I didnt keep a record of them other than on tradehill, so I have no idea what to claim.

I would send them an email letting them know that they still owe you bitcoins.

You could give them a username or email address that you remember using for tradehill, and they should be able to find your account on the backend of the site.

Since you apparently haven't already claimed them, they should still show them owing you bitcoins. You might want to contact them. If you do, I think they'll make it right.

Difficulty factor is the killer variable for a mining rig from a profit perspective.

How can you find out what capacity your machine has? Run CGIminer?

I did a budget upgrade cause I couldn't even play youtube videos without 100% cpu, now not so much.
Re-syncing my wallet, no clue where the backup files went and seems to be a bit faster.

If one only had 1 bitcoin, then one has one 21-millionth of the entire eventual BTC economy.... which means there could be no more than about 21,000,000 people with the same amount.

Regarding crypto-currencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin, anyone who hears about it now and acts can still be considered an "early adopter".

The cost of admission is still ridiculously cheap. Anyone who has ever played the lottery owes it to himself to buy into Bitcoin. It's by no means a sure thing, but compared to the lottery it's a fuckin' grade A solid investment! If it were to "really take off", having any amount would be quite significant.

Imagine being able to cheaply buy one one-millionth of the world's gold.... (which is, according to my quick calculations, over 5000 oz of gold, at a current market value of $8million+)....

You are aware that what you are lining up are the typical crazy bubble arguments why bitcoins are such an excellent investment aren't you?
